- Stand-On Leaf Blower. FERRIS FB2000 Hurricane Debris Blower. Clearing Fall leaves off the Driveway - Part 2.
Out for another run on the FERRIS FB2000 Hurricane Commercial Debris Blower to finish up the rest of the driveway through the forest. This time, I take the opportunity to try different discharge chute settings and different speeds. This is one efficient piece of equipment. It makes short work of what is normally a very long process. I also take it through my walking trails in the forest. Hope you will join me here at the cottage, in the outdoors. Cheers!

Stay safe and always be kind.
Cheers
Good morning Gus! Yes it works great and is a blast for sure. Hope you and Sally are keeping well. Take good care!
I did not know these existed. Cool
Morning Andrew. Yup it's a commercial machine but works really well and fun too. LOL. All the best to you and your family!
Good morning too you to from Allen and Brenda from canada have a good day and night nice what fun
That thing is awesome
At7:40 I had a good laugh, first off road leaf blower I ever saw.. LOL
LOL! And no seatbelt. :)) Cheers Jim!
I could play with that thing all day.
It was a blast. Too much fun to call work, I think. :))
GP you like a kid with a new toy are you gonna let Mrs GP drive it too or keep all the fun to your self 😊😊
LOL! I told her she should give it a whirl but not sure she wants to yet...perhaps I should drive in circles outside the window a bit till she gets curious...:)) Cheers!
Yup.
Full fleged appliance hoarding confirmed under Gords roof 😁👍😆
LOL!
GP that Ferris leaves no "LEAVES" left in its path. I bet you could almost use it to blow a light powdery dry snow. It makes life much easier. 👍👍👊
nice demonstration GP. That machine really cleans things up. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
I live in Ferris country. They are manufactured just down the road. Excellent company who takes care of their employees and customers.
Good stuff! Tell them I said thanks very much - awesome machine - Cheers Mike!
Wow Gord! I’ve never seen a contraption like that before. Basically a it’s a zero-turn stand-on leaf blower! Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Morning martin! It is - drives the same way and kind of fun. LOL! Cheers!
GP, great piece of equipment, better watch tho! You get carried away havin a good time, you might run out of gas when you're 2 miles from home!!! LOL
LMAO!! John, I did!! While filming the video I got about 1/2 mile down the driveway and she sputtered to a stop. How did you know??LOL! had to walk back and drag a gas can back. No fuel gauge on it. Cheers!
@@GPOutdoors It happens! Usually on the way out to the farthest point!
That's called...'The Learning Curve' !!! Been there, done it ! LOL
Definitely makes work a lot of fun!
One word - satisfying!
moose tracks, did she bring ice cream. hehehe
LOL! Too funny. Cheers Jim!
Man Oh Man . . . that's way too much fun. I almost want to watch the video again. LOL
LOL! Cheers Meta!
It's all about the right tool for the job, I just picked up a stihl br 700 and I am very impressed with the performance. Thanks for the content!
That's an awesome machine. Sure makes cleaning up an easier task.
Morning, cool rig and fun . Have a good one.
Thanks Gilles!
I wonder how that would work in a light snow. Great video GP, thanks
Morning Michael. I am hoping to get a chance to try it before they come to pick it up. Fingers crossed. have a great weekend!
Hi G.P. great machine and fast too. I really like it but I don't have enough land and trees for it. You sure look like you were having fun. Have a wonderful week and thanks for sharing
It works great and too much fun zipping around Ronald. You too- all the best!
I have been watching your channel for a couple months now and you sure are doing your share of keeping the economy in Canada going. Hey you know you don’t have to do it all by yourself. I was going to ask what other equipment you have but I guess it would be easier to ask what you don’t have. Ha ha. How do you find enough time to work? Keep smiling Dean
LOL! Thanks Dean! Have a great week ahead.
Looks like you're having a lot of fun Gord operating that machine . Take care .
u must be a pirate ?? blow me down matey ehehheeh kool shiver my timbers ahahah
There is something relaxing and satisfying going on with leaf blowing, looks like u very much so enjoy this task as well.
Oh look out stick alert.
It great to see you out there playing in them leafs. Did guy try it yet thanks for sharing
Sure did - you'll see him in a few days. He still has it at his place. LOL. Cheers Andrew!
Great video! Curious to see how well it does in the grass as there is more for the leaves to grab on to then in the driveways. Keep up the good work, your channel is becoming one of my favorites!
Thanks kindly! Just cleared Guy's meadow - the video should be out in a few days. Thanks again!
Impressive GP...all that grading you have done is really paying off...smooth ride for sure!
OK..now that is just too cool. I'd even volunteer to ride it and clean your driveway LOL
LOL! Cheers Larry!
Makes my Pb8010 look like a little consumer product
Looks like you need a safty harness to strap in that beast! Would hate to see you fly off that thing at full speed. It does a great job! Great way to clean off the drive while enjoying the final days of fall.
Morning Chuck. I was kind of surprised there wasn't one. I guess you just hang on tight and don't turn too fast. :)) Cheers!
Finally got a glimpse of Buster Bullwinkle. Thanks Gord for including that picture. I know how you like to protect the animals around there and that’s great!! I was wondering when you would try the Ferris Leaf Blower on your walking trails, as long as the are fairly passable it should be usable on them. You’re doing a great job giving the leaf blower exposure to your elements and so far it’s great and fun too. Keep up the good work and videos. 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Morning Fred! You are most welcome- was a pleasant surprise when I checked the footage. She came pretty close to the cabin. Have a great week and take care Fred!
Boy that driveway looks good cleaned up like that. Almost could justify the 10k spent on that machine in saving driveway maintanance $$$ over years. I would hope they make a residential one for about half the cost one day. I use my Gravely 52 inch pro turn mower as a leading/grass/debris blower at the moment, works well, definitely not as powerful, but gets it done. Price on it was $6k so I'd hope they could get a residential one of these together for around $4k-5k maybe without the chute adjust that I'm sure drives up the cost in technical parts. Another good vid GP! 👍
Morning BB! Yes it is pricey - but good quality build for the commercial landscape businesses I guess. It would be nice to see a residential unit for sure. Hope you are keeping well - take good care my friend!
G P fun watching would like to try one but cost must be great but most quality things are
God Bless All
PaK
Hey Gord I only have one thing to say, Mike Morgan is going to be jealous lol. All the best.
LOL! Cheers Wayne!
Wow G/p that one nice leaf blower I could use that on my place instead of back pack blower . To much walking. Ron .
How's she goin'? No doubt about it GP, that machine is pretty slick!!! What a great way to clear the lane. It sure works good and looks like it's easy to maneuver around. You got pretty close to the gate and were able to just turn around and continue. I can see where that would be very beneficial!!! I liked the video editing too. Nicely done!!! Take care!!
Thanks very much Grampie! Works great and kind of fun all at the same time. Have a wonderful weekend!
Looks like it is picking up some of last years leaves too.
LOL! You don't miss a thing RC! Yup, I was kind of lazy last year and didn't get the whole driveway done before winter. But hey, I got it now. LOL Cheers RC!
So, take off the front intake guard and see how it works for mulching leaves. Mulching and blowing the leaves all over the place. 😊😊😊
LOL! Cheers Tom!
Other that looking a bit bumpy while going over rough surfaces, it looks to be a fun way to deal with the huge quantity of those pesky leaves GP.
By restricting the opening, the air velocity is increased and the system operates at a higher static pressure because its actually moving slightly less air. The increased speed of the air combined with having the ability to direct it at a specific location at a higher pressure is what's allowing you the 'precision' leaf removal you describe. At least that's the theory of changing duct sizes down the main trunk line... except there shouldn't leaves in your ductwork....LOL Sorry about the carrying on but you know how an old HVAC tech is....LOL Fun video sir, and may I say your visitor was nice surprise !!
LOL! Always appreciate a little context and explanation good sir. And yes, i am hoping I don't find leaves in my ductwork - :)). I might have to call an HVAC tech! :)) Cheers!
Just remember, GP, you can't be driving that thing to the grocery store to do groceries. 🤣
Ohh boy GP you are having way too much fun with that thing....as any of us would be! lol. Really impressive performance wonder how it would work for say just a light inch or 2 dusting of snow? Of course you wouldn't be in the comforts of a tractor cab, but I'm guessing if the opportunity presents itself you'll give it a whirl....hahahahaha. Cheers buddy!
LOL! You bet I will Dan! I am hoping I get some before they come to pick it up. Take care brother!
I'm curious as to how much rock you blew off your drive. I'd love to have access to a machine like that for my 3 acres of leaves. Great video. Thanks GP.
Morning John. Great question - none. At all. A few pebbles here and there. But in fairness, most of the gravel on the driveway is crusher run so it packs in over time. I don't really have any areas that have loose gravel. It would be interesting to see how it would affect a loose gravel drive. Thanks - take care!
Great machine GP. Moves a lot of leaves and debris in a hurry. How does it compare to a 3 point pto model ?
Man, I could really use that thing for blowing off the trails/roads at hunting camp. How does it do leaving the rock on the driveways? Doesn't seem to be blowing a lot of it into the woods.
That things awesome gord. I wonder how fast it would go if you turned the blower out the back of it 🤔🤔🤔 lol
As always, another great, informative video. How was the stability (did it ever feel unsafe side to side or as if it would tip backward as you went up an incline)?
Morning Brian. Only on the "Steep Hill" - I had to make sure I was leaning more forward than usual. Otherwise no worries. Great question - thanks!
@@GPOutdoors Thank you for the insightful response. I believe my use case fits well with a stand-on blower. Stay well and keep making great content. Best wishes.
GP I bet that machine will remove gravel from the lawn in the spring
I've got 2 Stihl backpacks, a hand held, and a combi blower. I'll trade you.
LOL! Cheers BG!
Blowing all that around, I started sneezing. I knew these computers are getting good, but didn't realize they were so good, that they would stimulate my allergies. 😁😂
All it takes is one porn site to learn that. My allergies will never be the same.
Do you think that blower would handle newly fallen snow? Thanks Randy 😊
Morning Randy! I am hoping to get a chance to see before they pick it up. Cheers!
If you are interested in seeking this season I’d love to get a used one.
Good golly how much land do you own up there inthe GWN?
It would be a great way to test out noise cancelation of headphones or earbuds with that whine it produces. LOL
GP, what are you using to film your videos?
Hi Liam. I use Gopro and a Cannon M50. :))
@@GPOutdoors Great video skills.
We only use right side chute, x series with 23 hp engine has cylinder head problems, replaced 5 times , sold and upgraded to z3000 with 35 hp . Briggs and Stratton engines are terrible
If you have moose, don't you also have wolf, bobcat, wolverine, and bear? Don't you feel you need to carry some form of bear spray or other personal protection?
Best bear spray made by Smith and Wesson. Also works well on other pests and rodents.
Maybe he has some type of bear spray but he has never shown it if he does . Now for carrying a firearm . We in Canada are not allowed to carry a side arm . Even if you had a 1000 acres you cannot carry a side arm on your property . The only place to legally shoot a side arm is at a Registered Gun Club . It could take years to wait and join a gun club .The other option is to carry a shot gun or a rifle which is kind of awkward while operating machinery in the bush . I'm sure that many people carry a side arm way back in the bush on their property for protection but they are not going to advertise it on You Tube in Canada . You can shoot a 30.06 rifle on your property but you can't shoot a 22cal hand gun . Figure that one out .
@@henryrodgers3409 Are there ways in the Canadian laws/constitution for the citizens to petition the government to change or abolish laws?
Do use the right side of the blower and go slow
Have you ever tried using the Ferris on snow?
Not to be negative but unless your a groundskeeper or commercial turf maintenance I don't see this as a practical machine. My Cabin is on 80 acres of forest a 1 acre lawn 2.5 miles of trails 3.5 acres of food plots. And I see no need to process fall leaves other than during mowing and this doesn't hinder these areas. Unless you want a tidy look to your property spend your money and time else ware.
Good day Cleon. Not at all negative- always appreciate thoughts and opinions on things. For sure, this is targeted to commercial business and/or large properties with a very large need. But a whole lot of fun to be able to try it out and see how it works. Thanks - all the best!
Another reason not to live on the prairies. Awesome I wish we had trees and a neighbors yard near by.
